The possibility of reinstating sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 might be the sole good news Samsung has seen since last Friday. That's when a jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages from Samsung. The jury found Samsung in violation of five of six Apple patents.

According to Bloomberg, Samsung has requested damages from Apple since its Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been banned without cause. The company also asked Judge Lucy Koh to rule on the request without a hearing, according to Bloomberg.

CNET has contacted Samsung for comment on the Bloomberg report. We will update this story when we have more information.
